Saturday night

One of my good friends got married Saturday night, and it was such a beautiful and fun wedding. We brought Macey, and she was a hit with everyone. They had an excellent band at the reception, which was in Mckinney. Macey was so intrigued by Aimee, the bride. She couldn't wait to go talk to her. She kept telling me how pretty her hair and dress were. Macey was begging Daddy to dance with her the minute we walked in, he kept telling her later, so after dinner I took her on the dance floor, and we danced the next few hours! My feet and back were hurting so bad by the end of the night. It was funny because people I didn't even know would come get Macey and start dancing with her, and often times she was in the middle of the circle shaking her stuff. Not to brag, but we got so many compliments on how beautiful and outgoing she is. We are definitley proud parents! The night was over at midnight, and Macey was passed out in the car before we got in the parking lot. She actually slept until 8:00 this morning and her first statement was 'I'm starving!!!'

Weekend

My weekend didn't consist of much since I am working, but Macey was so excited to go to her friend Bryson's 2nd birthday party. She says Brady, Bryson's 4 year old brother is her best friend...they have been friends since birth; Sean and Kylie are very good friends of ours from college. Vinnie took Macey to the party, and Kylie and Sean asked if Macey could spend the night. Of course she wanted to, so Vinnie let her. I guess at some point during the evening Kylie noticed Macey walking funny and asked her what's wrong, and Macey said she T T'd a little in her panties. (This is not normal for her). Kylie asked her why she did that, and Macey told her because she was playing Hide n Go Seek, and she couldn't come out of her hiding spot...so I guess she just went a little in her panties. I guess I kind of understand...you never want to give up a good hiding spot during that game. Well Kylie had to wash Macey's clothes, but she got to wear some of Brady's boxers in the mean time. Me and Vince did get to have dinner Saturday night...alone, so that was really nice.

Tonight Macey said 'Mommy you don't ever want me go get big', I said 'I do want you to get bigger, but I also will always want you to be my little girl; Macey said 'I can't wait to be a teenager, it's my favorite!' (Oh, I can't wait...uugh!!!!)
HAVE A GOOD WEEK!

Visit to Fanklin

We just drove to Tennessee to see Vince's sister's family. We took along Nanny and Pop Pop (Vince's parents). We had a fun time. Nina turned 9 and she had a sleepover which consisted of 19 girls...crazy! Macey loved it, and she fit right in. Some of the pics below show Macey and Tripp playing with each other, and the 3 kids stuffing the pinata for the party; the kids shooting hoops with Nanny and Pops. The weather was awesome, and I finally got to walk around downtown Franklin...very neat town. Macey, Tripp, and Nina get along amazingly well. Tripp even had a cough on Friday so he could stay home from school to be with Macey. Chrissy told us when he woke up Sunday morning and Macey wasn't there, he couldn't stop crying. We wish the Hancocks were back in Texas!

Sunday

We had a fun day today..went to church this morning, and got to listen to Avalon sing a few songs...they are having a concert at our church tonight. After church we went to lunch, then came home and changed and then went to downtown Mckinney for a Mardi Gras dog parade. There were so many dogs...we felt bad for not bringing our perro's, but they would have misbehaved. Macey enjoyed catching beads and candy. As you can see from the pics we are having beautiful weather today.

Macey and Caitlin

I forgot how fast babies change, we hadn't seen Caitlin in a few weeks, and she has changed so much. The first 2 pics in the slideshow were taken in January, and the rest were taken yesterday.

Just testing out some new backgrounds for my blog...not as easy as I expected, but now I'm frustrated so I will have to work on it later.

Growing up

Macey has finally showed interest in learning how to write her last name. I have been trying to get her to spell it and write if for a while, but she was not interested, then a couple days ago, she asked me how to spell it, and she has been writing it on her own ever since. Lately at night we do a page in a workbook where she works on her letters, hopefully this will help her a little when she starts Kindergarten.
Yesterday I had a DR. appt, and Macey had to go with me. I told her she would have to wait in the waiting room by herself. She asked me if they were going to take a baby out of my tummy. I don't know why she thinks this because we don't discuss that topic with her, because we don't know if it will happen. I told her I don't have a baby in my tummy, and she said 'Mommy, you told me at lunch the other day that I could have a baby brother'...she must of dreamed this up because I never said this.
This is when she wrote her whole name for the 1st time all by herself.
